Boston Bruins


Boston Bruins: Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup final for the first time in 21 years. Now they have a blow to their championship in the NHL in first to the 39th the night wore on Friday with a 1-0 victory against Tampa Bay in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals behind Tim Thomas second shutout "of the series and Nathan Horton goal with 7:33 left in the third period. The Stanley Cup finals begin on Wednesday in Vancouver against the Western Conference champion Canucks, who had the best record in the NHL, scored the most goals and allowed the fewest. For now, though, the Bruins can savor their success after one of their best performances of the season. It's great to be a part of something amazing. That was the highest level of concentration I have experienced," Bruins center Patrice Bergeron said. "I couldn't wait to jump on Timmy and enjoy the moment." "This is a great moment. (It's) been a long time for Boston. How long has it been actually?" the 37-year-old Thomas said, "Also a long journey for me to get here. Can't be too happy too long, though, unless you are the last man standing Boston won its most recent championship in 1972 and hadn't reached the finals since 1990, when it lost to the Edmonton Oilers. Tampa Bay won the Stanley Cup in 2004, but missed the playoffs the past three years before falling short of its ultimate goal this year.
